Kalahari Biltong | Air-Dried Thinly Sliced Beef | Spicy Peri Peri | 2oz (Pack Of 5) | Sugar Free | Keto & Paleo | Gluten Free | Better Than Jerky

Didn't quite know what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised with this Kalahari Biltong. Found it to be a delicious alternative to jerky. Where jerky can be super hit-or-miss, often leathery and tough, this Biltong was tender and filling. The other major plus is the ingredient list. While I like the idea of Jerky as a snack (quick, easy protein), I'm always put off/grossed out by all of the artificial ingredients, sugar, preservatives, etc. This Biltong has a much cleaner bill of ingredients; feel much better about what I'm putting in my body. Also has great flavor - in fact, much more than expected. I imagine people who like an intense flavor profile will particularly like it. Also keeps well. Took it in my car yesterday, opened it and had some on the way to a hike, left it in the car, and it was still in perfect shape when I got back from the hike and polished off the rest of the bag. While I was initially bummed that there wasn't more in the package, it was quite a bit more filling than expected. What I also realized is that jerky tends to be in bigger chunks and can sit higher in the bag, giving the illusion that there's more in there. The Biltong sits lower in the bag because it's not as tough, so the pieces fold and gather toward the bottom. With that in mind, I found it to be at least reasonably similar in overall volume to what I get with high-quality jerky for about the same price, though I actually found the Bilton more filling and satisfying. In conclusion, I still enjoy Jerky and will probably grab it from time to time when it's the best available option (e.g. at a middle-of-nowhere gas station), but when I have the choice (e.g. sitting in front of Amazon right now), I'll definitely re-order this Kalahari Biltong in bulk.

Honestly the best jerky I've ever had. So I recently had been looking for more snacks on a low carb intake diet and naturally turned to jerky- I tried 6 or 7 before finding this stuff and have had to keep a running stash of it since. Seriously fantastic. As a spicy food lover, the Peri-Peri flavor is great- though perhaps could use a little more spice if anything, but the flavor is great, and the texture just sets it apart from similar brands entirely. As other people have noted, there is most definitely a prosciutto-like consistency to the jerky which makes it that much better. Yes, the price is up there, but most definitely worth it if you have the money to spare.On top of that, the makers are clearly on their game and a pleasure to deal with, should you have to. I recently had a shipment delivered and stolen off my front porch, and after messaging the company, Kalahari had a replacement shipment to me within a few days, along with a handwritten note thanking me for my business. Honestly, this company has probably made a lifelong customer of me at this point, and I cannot recommend them and their product enough.

I don't like spicy foods that are so hot you can't enjoy the taste so I was hesitant to purchase these. I usually buy the Biltong Original but noticed that the ingredients are basically the same if not the same so, I took a chance. I was pleasantly surprised. My only gripe is that for beef that is not grass fed, the price seems utterly ridiculous for a pack of dried beef. For me, this snack is a luxury. I could probably eat the entire bag in one sitting but I find that just a pinch is satisfying enough that I can make a bag last for a few days.The reason I purchased this brand is because the ingredients are minimal and there is no sugar or nitrites and other unsavory ingredients found in so many other brands.

I've been really disappointed lately at how difficult it is to find good jerky. Especially when I started paying more attention to ingredients and the quality of those ingredients. If you're OK with soy and gluten in beef jerky then at least know what you're eating and why it is even in there. I decided to try this product on a whim and I am very glad I did. While not technically jerky, it fits the same requirement for my purposes: quick, tasty, simple ingredients, refrigeration not needed, good protein, low or zero carb. Usually a bag this size (2 oz) is a single serving for me. The nutrition label says a serving is 1 oz for 80 calories, 16g protein, zero carb, zero sugar. I will say this: this is the first time I ever actually stopped, resealed the package, and put it away for later while eating jerky. Why? I wanted to savor what I had already eaten and save the rest for later so I could do it again. It was that good. I will definitely be ordering more and will give the other flavor a try.
